LSet Function

Class

Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings

Syntax

Dim result As String = LSet(source, length)

source (required; String)

The string to be left-aligned

length (required; Integer)

The length of the returned string

Description

The LSet function left-aligns a string.

Usage at a Glance

  • If the length of source is greater than or equal to length, the function returns only the leftmost length characters.

  • If the length of source is less than length, spaces are added to the right of the returned string so that its length becomes length.

Version Differences

  • In VB 6, LSet was implemented as a kind of assignment statement. Because it is implemented as a function in .NET, its syntax is completely different.

  • In VB 6, LSet could be used only with fixed-length strings. In .NET, LSet works with all string data.
